Before travelling hrough Holland I never tried witlof before. It is only in recent years that we can find it, sometimes in store in New Zealnd. And I bet you that Dutch who live here are growing itSlightly bitter but crunchy in salads , Dutch prepare it by wrapping ham and cheese around it and baking it in the oven, Everzthing is that dunked in white sauce.Main thing to remember which ever way you make it, is to remove the very ,very bitter core
